Jesus H. Chris, pluquaa. I'm just trying to decide if you were drunk when you left this comment or not drunk enough.

a) Kerry Washington is so pretty it hurts. I know we're all about celebrating diverse beauty, but I gotta say: sweet baby jesus, the power of symmetry.

What I found most interesting about your well-selected set of tweets is that most of them aren't Sterling apologists. They start with "Now, let's be clear, fuck that guy, BUT" which suggests that the misunderstanding of 1st Amendment is real, whereas I'd always suspected it was more a matter of convenient…

I think you might have a rather idealistic veiw of the list. Sure there are normally 20 or so truly infuential people on a global scale but the rest are normally up and coming semi popular people in American culture. And while its not meant to be an accolade it still is for most people on that list. It is something…

You can't police everyone or control what everyone is going to say within your community or without. Doing such bespeaks to some serious control issues on your part. How can you help your community? By being a shining example. I recently got into this discussion with the community I'm involved with - polyamory, which…

Those type of people are just jerks and book nerds. Besides, it's pretty obvious that Jon Snow gets stabbed in the back by his own brothers at the end of book 4 and is very dead. Hell, that was practically implied by the first episode of season 1 anyway.

The short answer is the simplest, and the one that will get me the most shit on Deadspin: the patriarchy. Police departments are overwhelmingly male, and have been taught by a misogynist society from birth that their experiences are valid, but experiences that differ from their own are either suspicious or fictional.…

I happen to disagree. Their comment is not inappropriate. Their comment is challenging and, in some ways, potentially pedantic. It's not inappropriate, however, as you've broached the subject of commenting, appropriateness of comments, and systemic transgenderism. The comment, while strong and potentially degrading,…

Kat, I respect you as an author, but your threadsitting is frankly exhausting. There are no other writers on Jezebel or any of the other Gawker network blogs — unless I am wrong — who so deeply engage in the comments and so intensely and rapidly negate what other people are saying.

I feel like a good, "8-year-old Superfan Lacey Holsworth has lost her battle with nerve cancer" would have been much much better. The whole "your lunch time cry" wording is akin to some sort of viral video heads up. (I love you Hilary. Please know this)

Can we talk about that headline? I mean. This story is sad enough. That was just a bit gut punching.

Hit send too fast. Yes, I agree with that strip, but in my own personal view, I also want to avoid a situation where it becomes problematic to talk about women's issues without it being completely overshadowed by arguments coming from different areas within the community.

Black female in the Air Force here. I had to relax my hair because I found it difficult to maintain hair regulations while stationed in an area with very little black people. My hair is very coarse, thick, and tangles easily so styling (while natural) takes days for me and hours for a professional. I don't regret it…

I agree with your main point, but there is a huge error in the article:

I think there are some misconceptions going on here, and maybe as a female soldier I can help out. You can still braid your hair. Pretty much the only style of braids NOT allowed is the one pictured in the lefthand photo (a.k.a three braids).You can braid/french braid your hair in one or two braids OR you can have…

jesus fucking christ, might as well cut to the chase and start calling Ans957 and people like myself Uncle Toms.

So, I feel really weird about this. There's no question the tweet was WAY out of line (though people seem to be ignoring the fact that the tweet didn't actually come from Colbert or anyone who actually works on the show).

can we just support NA people, please? And not have to turn this issue into something else??

Here's the thing, what colbert is pointing out (quite effectively due the outrage) is that as a general culture Americans don't get offended by certain racism or slurs over others even though they are JUST as offensive. People passively allow a team to be called the redskins. I mean HONESTLY-can you imagine a team…

I really don't think "a minority group" was the butt of his joke, unless you're counting 'People who own NFL teams' as the minority in question. And the fact that Colbert is a privileged white male is part of the joke - most of the jokes are that he is the most privileged of all people.
